Art Basel takes on Abu Dhabi—and evolves beyond its renowned series of art fairs—in its latest project
For the first time, Art Basel will venture outside of its premier art fairs in Basel, Miami Beach and Hong Kong to launch Art Basel Inside—a three-day immersive arts programme taking place in Abu Dhabi from February 14 to February 16, 2020.
The event is hosted in partnership with the Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism, and curated by Marc-Olivier Wahler, director of the Musee d'Art et d'Histoire Geneva.
Art Basel Inside will be a multi-faceted cultural experience, bringing together a select group of around 300 thought leaders from various disciplines. Here, they'll engage in dynamic dialogues on world issues through art.
Art Basel Inside will also include thematic journeys, site-specific installations and commissioned performances, complemented by workshops with visionary guest speakers from the worlds of technology and science to address topics such as intelligence, environments, sustainability, and the role of the arts.
